Why We're Different

Our goal is to help entrepreneurs and webmasters select the best hosting for their websites, and to help them learn as much as possible about managing their online presence. That means...

Our Reviews Are Different. Here's Why...

Meet The Team

It's published by Quality Nonsense Ltd, a web publishing company based in London. We employ a crack team of webmasters, programmers, designers and more in the UK & Canada. Why not meet the team?

How Is The Site Funded?

Our full disclosure page explains exactly how we pay the bills. Yes, it involves referral fees and affiliate deals. No, it's not an attempt to sell you junk. Learn how we're funded and decide for yourself.

2007: The Good Ol' Days

The original design was pretty basic. Back then, WIHT only offered the 'Find a Host' service so the design just has a central search box. Simple & effective.

2008: New Management

In the summer of 2008, WhoIsHostingThis.com was acquired by London-based Quality Nonsense Ltd(um, that's us).

We run a network of sites for webmasters. The company employs a crack team of programmers, webmasters, designers and writers and is run by a guy called Richard.

When Quality Nonsense bought WIHT, Richard and the rest of the team had some big ideas on how to make it a better service. It wasn't long before the simple host-check feature was complimented by the following features:

Obviously, all these new features meant the design had to develop - hence the fresh look for the site. It managed to fit in all the new features without looking cluttered or detracting from the central tool.

2009: A Work In Progress

In 2009, we decided it was time for a complete overhaul. Feedback said our users didn't know about a lot of the extra features that on offer, and we wanted to fix that.

Several months and some serious hard graft later, it was ready to go live just in time for Christmas.

2010: Redesign Launch

The new design launched at the beginning of 2010. We don't want to get too gushy about all this, but the redesign was a real labour of love; we're incredibly proud to see that all our hard work paid off and that WIHT is now going from strength to strength.

We're constantly working on the site, so if you find anything wrong or have any feedback, please do get in touch!
